I disagree with this. With so few of these in the market place, that will keep the card from going down in value. Even if Pujols' popularity waivers from its prime, most of these are in pc collections never to surface again. He is a first ballot HOF'er and this is his 1st Bowman Chrome ref. RC auto.
The market place really has not been established for HOF RC autos. Certified autographs did not really have a big impact in the hobby until around the time this card came out. Let's try to think of other HOF callibar players with RC auto releases and what those cards will go for once the player retires and/or is voted into the HOF. The value of this card will stay put for a while and then the actual realized value will be huge when he retires and then again when he is voted into the HOF. To the o.p., what a beautiful card. You have done what I am trying to do myself but so far I have not had the patience to do it. Congradulations, and if you decide to move it please let me know.
